House of Heroes Meets the Beatles

cover_small

Not many bands can pull off covers of Beatles songs. Only Bono’s versions on the “Across the Universe” soundtrack and almost all the songs covered on the “I Am Sam” soundtrack have excited me.  So I am proud to say that one of the other few that I feel can is a band I A&R at Gotee Records called House of Heroes. These guys are true fans, not scene kids who only wear “Let It Be” t-shirts saying their fans. Their producer, Mark Lee Townsend, even helms a Beatles cover band called SixtyFour. And not only was the bands producer a Beatles fan/historian but the band themselves pull off a sound that pays homage to the Fab Four on all levels especially vocally. Even their song selection (“Can’t Buy Me Love”, “It Won’t Be Long” and “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da”) show the band picked the perfect songs for who they are but also leaves their fans wanting more. So do yourself a favor and pick up this digital only 3 song EP release at iTunes for $1.99 or AmazonMP3.com for $1.89. The only disappointment will be you’ll be left wanting more…I promise!

PS – A big thanks to Jeremy from ThisIsHeroic.com for providing a classic design that also pays homage.
